Besides creating opportunities for NTU students to pursue their passion and network with other like-minded peers, many students who join interest clubs usually find themselves wanting to put their interests to good use, such as giving back the community.
Inspired by the saying “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”, the NTU Investment Interactive Club, a student club that focuses on developing students’ investment knowledge and skills, has been organising events such as financial literacy workshops for younger secondary school students.
One of their most successful events is the National Cashflow Competition, where the students use the Cashflow 101 board game created by Robert Kiyosaki, author of bestseller, Rich Dad Poor Dad. It aims to help youth gain life skills such as cash management, and to understand important concepts that would be relevant to them in real life. Using this platform, the club aims to cultivate a younger generation that is able to plan for their future, and avoid issues such as bad debts and problematic gambling.
With its interesting format, the competition garners a 500 to 600-strong participation from other schools and the public annually.
